Hijacking this to plug contributing to OSM. Improving your local area is very rewarding and can pair well with some youtube binging. Take a look at your city and see if there are things you're interested in working on.

I am using Magic Earth for navigation. Any recommended companion iOS apps for contributing to OSM?

Possibly not "companion" per se, but Every Door is available for iOS and MapComplete can run in browser. Go Map!! can provide more detailed editing.
